Moroccan football club Raja Casablanca has decided to part ways with Spanish coach Paco Jimenez by mutual consent, just a short period after he took over as the team's technical director. The move is expected to cost the club 100 million centimes in compensation, equivalent to two months' salary, as per the terms of their contract. This decision comes on the back of the team's recent poor form, including a loss to Nahdat Berkane and a worrying slump in results, with only one win in five league matches.
Raja Casablanca's poor form has been a concern, with the team managing only one win in their last five league matches. Their latest loss was to Nahdat Berkane, which seems to have been the final straw for the club's management. As a result, Abdel Karim Ghenani will take charge of the team in their upcoming match against an un specified opponent at the Olympic Stadium in Rabat.
The decision to part ways with Paco Jimenez was likely influenced by the team's disappointing performance in the league. Raja Casablanca is one of the top teams in Moroccan football, and their recent form has been a surprise to many. The club's management will be hoping that the change in coach will bring about an improvement in results and help the team get back on track.
